Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a new video surfaces of a white woman finding new ways to troll and harass African Americans. The latest addition to Karen culture blew up on social media this week, showing two nosy neighbors questioning the presence of a Black woman—in her very own home.
The video, which racked up nearly 800,000 views on TikTok in under 24 hours, shows two older white women knocking on the new homeowner’s front door, implying she’s an intruder and demanding her name. The homeowner’s doorbell camera caught the whole infuriating exchange on August 1, through a tightly shut front door.
“I’m a neighbor,” one woman announced, claiming she’d lived in the area for 26 years. “And I saw someone here, and I hadn’t seen anyone here. Is everything okay?”
The homeowner calmly said everything was fine.
That’s when the woman went full Karen mode: “And you are?”
“None of your business,” the homeowner responded, telling both women flatly to leave her property. The stubborn pair feigned outrage: “Excuse me, ma’am, ma’am!”
But the homeowner had had enough. “Stop walking by every day, stop looking into our windows, stop looking over the fence,” she said through her security system’s intercom. “Leave us alone… Do not come on our property anymore.”
Hundreds of viewers took to the comments section, calling out the racism and lamenting the loss of basic neighborliness. “All they had to do was introduce themselves and say, ‘Welcome to the neighborhood’…sad,” one said. Another agreed, “That’s not how you do it. You come over with a pie or bottle of wine, or a welcome basket.”
Plenty of viewers weren’t in a joking mood, though. “This homeowner is fed up. They’re legit harassing her at this point,” one commenter wrote. Others couldn’t get over the sheer nerve of it: “It’s the audacity in the ‘excuse me, ma’am?’ Like you owe them a response” one said, followed by another who added, “I never cease to be amazed by the unmitigated audacity.”
While a few brushed it off as just annoying, plenty more recognized the seriousness. “People who don’t get it need to understand microaggressions,” one commenter wrote. Another put it more bluntly: “People who think this is not racist are also racist.”
